I could make the typex code return not only the metatable name, but also the metatable itself (both for tables and userdatas). Then you could wrap your Lua code around the c code to implement the complete behavior as desired. No plugging needed.
Do have a question; should the registry be traversed to lookup the metatable for a table? Or should this only be done for a userdata? Traversing the registry is slow.
